Welcome to the Gameslapper! Join (SOL) Navy as we discuss the latest and greatest as well as some blasts from the past video games. Feel free to join in, just say "hello" or kick off your shoes and hang out a while.

I was under the impression that only subscribers (give a little money each month) can play it now. It should be released shortly for everyone else. I heard they were trying to get it out before Christmas.

I received PU 3.0 alpha invite emails last month... I think I've gotten those emails for every PU update.

If you guys are liking Witcher 3, the latest Assasins Creed Origins would be comparable. Its easily 70+ hours of gameplay and they haven't released the DLC yet. I like the path they've taken to go more RPG with loot drops and upgrading gear.

Anniversary SpecialWere two days away from this years Anniversary Special and have a lot to celebrate, including eight straight days of Ship Shape highlighting some of your favorite ships, 20% off all merchandise, and a very special Happy Hour where you can help us decide on a Drake ship to add to Star Citizen. Also, be sure to take The Observer test for your chance to win a new concept ship from Anvil Aerospace -- the Hawk. All the rules will be on the website starting Friday. Those of you interested in picking up an Idris-P or Javelin, 50 of each will be available in the following time slots:

Just can't bring myself to play an FPS on a console. I fail at the controller.

That said, I did pre-order Destiny 2 for the PC and will be dabbling with that. Mostly due to Ironhawk doing some of the art for it and gently twisting my arm, but I've heard enough good things about it that it should be fun to fool around in regardless.

Of course, it still requires putting down my glue and paint brushes and grabbing my mouse, so we'll see how well that goes

that's ok. Microsoft is currently working on bringing mouse and keyboard to Xbox One

My understanding is Fortnite did a cross platform "unintentionally", at this point Sony is holding out because the PS4 is outselling xbox and they want to keep it that way to keep a hold of their "exclusive content" agreements.

Thanks Horns and Philo. There are so many bombers now, most of them seem much better than the original Gladiator. Just too many unknowns to keep it in my inventory; the other bombers look far more bigger and sexier. I was able to upgrade my Gladiator to the Aquila and the LTI carried over to it. I didn't have an explorer ship, so I thought it made sense, especially since it comes with a buggy and Merlin.

I like the Eclipse, mainly because it looks like the old Solrain bomber. I will probably just help the guys out in the Retaliators on big missions, since full crew is 6!
